Land reform and farm restructuring in East Central Europe and CIS in the 1990s: Expectations and achievements after the first five years
评估了中东欧和独联体国家自1991年以来的土地改革与农场重组进展,发现实际成就未达预期,多数土地仍为集体所有,农民偏好大型合作社,农业产量未快速提升,原因包括政治法律不确定性、缺乏支持环境和高风险。
The countries of East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union have achieved considerable progress with land reform and farm restructuring since 1991. Yet the achievements fall short of original expectations, both it scope and in character. So far, agricultural transformation has not produced a quick increase in production; most land remains in collective ownership; most peasants prefer to remain in the safety of large cooperatives, which still dominate agriculture. The accomplishments of agrarian reform have been modest due to political and legal uncertainty, lack of a supportive environment, high risk, and inadequate mechanisms for farm restructuring and individual exit. The future agriculture in the region will be characterized by the coexistence of private farms, restructured cooperatives, commercial farms of various sizes, and part-time subsistence farms.
